Street Appeal - what appeals most to you?
8 years ago
We’re repainting our house exterior and I’d love to know which version appeals most...
Currently it’s a mix of faded greens and yellow/creams and I’m pretty happy with the new combos I’ve photoshopped - but have been looking at them too long and can’t make up my mind
The dark garage doors work well with the dark roof too, I’ll show this option if the dark roof versions are well ahead...
Choosing for your own home is so much harder than choosing for other people’s! Thanks for your help!!

Comments (29)HU, I've replied to old posts, sometimes the related questions that appear can be confusing and the date can be overlooked, it happens, I think many of us have done it, so don't worry about it. Thing is, if the original poster is no longer following and if other people looking for inspo are more likely to get advice by starting a question of their own than getting lost in an old discussion and if people willing to reply waste time reading through before noticing the question is 7 years old, and it brings it back to the first page making it more likely more people will mistake it for a recent discussion, I'm not sure how productive any of that is, so I appreciate the 'old post' advisory, and in that spirit since I've now added to the conversation I'll draw to others' attention that this is an OLD POST...See MoreUpdate Façade / Street Appeal
Comments (10)From the look of the under whelming front Stairs the house looks about 450mm (3 steps) or so off the the ground. So could make more of a presence redo the front door entry / stairs quite cheaply with a timber deck that starts at the front door wraps around the each side if the house a bit, then flows down onto the entry path and terraces down the sides. Along with the other suggestion of painting the front door a brighter colour would create character lift the entry nicely. Does the front of the house face north or If your budget allowed a narrow deck say 1.2m (with pergola) along the entire front would transform the place entirely....See MoreStreet Appeal Suggestions please...
Comments (22)Aesthetically, I think railing or similar is much more appealing than extending upward the ramp brickwork; however, changing colour will definitely improve visual of the existing walls. The pics siriuskey provided are very attractive. I like the idea of repeating the same style handrail as you have inside, as it lends consistency. Solid brickwork seemstoo heavy and chunky to me; a handrail will add elegance. Note: Do you need to worry about children attempting to climb the ramp walls (do code regs address this)?...See MoreImproving street appeal
Comments (9)I'm disappointed to keep reading the negatives of gum trees. They are magnificent plants that dont deserve the derision. And I've been designing gardens for about 40 years. Your home lends itself to an interesting native garden. Eucalyptus (gums) are available in a range of sizes enabling the ubiquitous 'Australian garden' to stand out. You can underplant these with clipped Westringia, Correas (both demanding well-drained soil) and Lomandra grasses. A few rocks would also add to the effect. Lilly Pillies are native, but are better placed in contemporary situations as hedge plants and not the Australiana style....See More- 8 years ago
